Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
Anyone
who
says
that
obviously
the
22nd
Amendment
will
deter
Trump
from
trying
for
a
third
term
has
been
living
on
a
different
planet
than
the
one
I’ve
been
living
on.
—
Ian
Bassin,
who
served
as
an
associate
White
House
counsel
for
President
Barack
Obama
and
is
now
the
executive
director
of
Protect
Democracy,
a
nonprofit
advocacy
group,
in
comments
given
to
Politico,
on
how
President
Donald
Trump
could
try
to
serve
a
third
term
in
the
White
House,
despite
the
Constitutional
edict
against
doing
so
that’s
provided
in
the
22nd
Amendment.
“The
court’s
gonna
tell
the
Republican
Party
that
they
can’t
run
their
candidate?
I
don’t
think
so,”
Bassin
said.
